for the Tucson Marathon.
Fleet Feet Sports Tucson offers a variety of training programs throughout
the year for all levels - from people who want to start running to those
who want to take their running to the next level. All of their programs are
intended to be non-competitive, fun and educational, and focus on helping
individuals meet their goals. All programs are designed by Jeanne Snell,
RRCA certified distance training coach with support from experienced
runners and coaches. For more detailed information on Fleet Feet Tucson's

Well-suited for runners from out of state, Sweat Tracker provides online
coaching for any event. Runners can sign up from the Tucson Marathon
registration page, complete a short online questionnaire, and Sweat
Tracker's certified coaches will design a custom training plan based on
fitness level. Runners receive workouts via email and interact with their
assigned coach via email and text message. Coaches also schedule periodic
check-ins to ensure runners stay on track. All coaches are RRCA and/or
USATF certified and work as a team to come up with the best plan to help
runners achieve their goals. For more information on Sweat Tracker's

programs should be directed to Larry.
Pam Reed, founder and race director, Tucson Marathon:
"We are thrilled to be working with Fleet Feet Tucson and Sweat Tracker. As
the largest running event in Southern Arizona, we expect nearly 5,000
people to participate in our ten events this year. Local runners in Tucson
can benefit from the hands on training at Fleet Feet in Tucson. A large
portion of our runners also come from out of state, so having an online
resource to help train for the Tucson Marathon events is a great benefit.
It's always a good feeling when you can show up at a race knowing you have
trained properly to run your best race."
Larry Rich, Founder & CEO, Sweat Tracker
"We are excited to partner with the Tucson Marathon events. The marathon
and half marathon courses are beautiful and fast with nearly ideal
temperatures. We look forward to working with runners to help them post
some fast finishing times. The shorter events offer the opportunity to
develop some cool race day strategies that take advantage of the multi-loop
course. We also love working with new runners to get them across the finish
line for the very first time!"
